      Се́рый, ро́вный, засты́вший полумра́к спуска́лся с тё́много не́ба, и я не знал, когда́ су́мерки перешли́ в ве́чер и ве́чер перешё́л в ночь, и ду́мал, что всё э́то была́ одна́ до́лгая ночь.
      Séryj, róvnyj, zastývšij polumrák spuskálsja s tjómnovo néba, i ja ne znal, kogdá súmerki perešlí v véčer i véčer perešól v nočʹ, i dúmal, što vsjo éto bylá odná dólgaja nočʹ.
      The grey, uniform, frozen semi-darkness descended from the lightless sky, and I was not conscious of when the twilight passed into evening, and when the evening passed into night—to me it was all one long night.
